Frankenstein (2025) - "Reborn or Reassembled?"
Spoiler Free: 0:00-38:00
Spoilers: 38:00-END
In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's we dissect Frankenstein (2025), the long-gestating passion project from Guillermo del Toro. With a star-studded cast including Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Creature, this gothic horror-sci-fi adaptation of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus hits theaters October 17 and streams on Netflix November 7.
We explore the film’s breathtaking visuals, eloquent themes of creation and abandonment, and standout performance by Elordi that critics agree breathes tragic humanism into a classic monster.
But we also question whether the film’s extended runtime, tonal heaviness, and narrative deviations from the novel carry the emotional weight they promise—or if the spectacle overshadows the story. With tension between expectations and delivery, this episode asks: is Frankenstein reborn, or merely reassembled?
